We Stand with Black Lives

PAB is committed to learning and taking actions to continue to become anti-racist. These countless murders of souls like Tyre Nichols, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, George Floyd, Tony McDade and Dijon Kizzee are inexcusable and preventable. We stand with Black lives, experiences, values, and groups that help BIPOC and demand accountability in our biased and violent system.

Donate to support our local Lavender Rights Project, a low-to-no cost legal advocacy group for Black gender diverse people. Along with their housing and legal support, they have an invaluable Gender-Based Violence Prevention Program. 

land Acknowledgement

PAB acknowledges that the work being done on what we call the Eastside is and has always been the unceded ancestral lands and waters of the past and present Duwamish *dxʷdəwʔabš, Snoqualmie *s·dukʷalbixʷ, Stillaguamish *stuləgʷábš and Tulalip *dxʷlilap peoples. Gender fluid and gender diverse people have existed in Indigenous communities since time immemorial, until white colonizers brought concepts of gender binary and limited sexuality, bringing along subsequent oppression through violence. We stand in solidarity and honor the first peoples who still occupy and safeguard these lands.  As Guests, we recognize that we benefit from living and working on their traditional homeland. PAB is committed to transparent actions as individuals and as a group to celebrate, respect, and elevate the voices, experiences and histories of Native peoples as we advocate and take action working towards the liberation of all people existing beyond the confines of the ongoing damages of colonialism.

This Land Acknowledgement is one small step in the vast amount of work needed to improve our support and allyship with Indigenous communities in their home and beyond. Please connect, learn and support the Native tribes whose land we live and work on. PAB pays Real Rent to the Duwamish Tribe, and communicates with 2 Spirit community members to learn, listen and take action to elevate the needs shared by these  Tribes.
​
Duwamish  Tribe- The Duwamish have yet to be justly compensated for their land, resources and livelihoods. Consider becoming a Real Renter, where you can show your solidarity with those who are still continuing to honor and bring light to their ancient heritage.

Snoqualmie Tribe- Learn about the Ancestral Lands Movement and see how you can stand in solidarity with our land owner, and help the land and it's people take care of this sacred space, which has been negatively impacted by increased recreation.   Take the pledge.

Stillaguamish Tribe- Learn about the history of the People of the River and the native lands that they continue to care for and preserve.

Tulalip Tribe- Consider supporting the   Tulalip Foundation, which helps survivors of domestic violence, supports projects and programs that assist community members in gaining access to the tribal judicial system, succeed in education, as well as enhance and restore the cultures and traditions of Tulalip Tribes.
